Have you made a DIY Memory Jar yet? They are perfect for the end of the year (or difficult moments during the year) to reflect on all of the moments that have brought you joy. We went with a simple design that is easy to recreate or modify to fit your personality!

Start with any type of jar. You can even go green and use one from pickles or jelly!
Get creative! If you are starting a memory jar with your family, decorate it together. The beauty of this project is that you can cover your jar with anything from scrapbook paper and stickers to photos and ribbon. Just be sure to include 2016 on it!
Cut up small strips of colorful paper and place them next to the jar to record your memories. (You can even use Post-It notes for this part.)
Collect all of your joyous moments (big and small!) throughout the year in your jar! At the end of 2016, open it and reflect on all of your memories.
